What do I actually do to prep a vacant house for real estate photos?
A lot of walking around flipping switches. 😂
But really, a random item on the counter probably isn’t going to make someone decide not to buy the house. But that’s not really the point. The goal is to remove as many distractions as possible while someone is looking through the photos and deciding whether they can see themselves living there.
Real estate photography, to me, isn’t about making a house look perfect. It’s about helping the house tell its story clearly. That’s always my goal when I’m photographing a home for my agents.
